Print this Article | Send to Colleague
NYSAFC recently announced the availability of a new free training program, Firefighter Best Practices – A Model Program. This 2.5-hour training includes a brief history of the evolution of the Recommended Best Practices for Fire Department Training Programs document, which was issued in January 2015 by the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control in collaboration with the New York State Department of Labor’s Public Employees Safety and Health (PESH) Program.
In addition, the training reviews what the recommended best practices include and the factors that fire departments should consider when developing and documenting their own training programs. Examples of how fire departments can address the best practices will also be shared. Additionally, the training will review other relevant OSHA regulations and New York state laws and the methods that can be used to satisfy them while still providing a worthwhile training experience for department members.
All 12 sessions of this training will run from 7:00 – 9:30 p.m. The dates and locations are:
